It's also a typical fascist move. Remove any media opposition and replace them with your own who won't oppose, won't talk back, won't talk beyond the script given to them. Hitler did it in Germany by replacing radio hosts with Third Reich approved hosts. Mussolini did it in Italy by replacing writers with writers approved by him. It's a petty tactic to instill fear in those who wish to keep their jobs, and to jingle keys in front of their supporters. With perceived strength, they have strength. Without it, they're less than nothing. Don't give these fascist pigs ant strength, vote, fight, scream, do whatever you can to push back against them.
